A little while back, in our roundup of the recent goings on with the Decaydance Records stable, we mentioned the new Panic! At The Disco single, "The Ballad Of Mona Lisa." But we really thought that such a momentous occasion as the return of Panic!, albeit with a different lineup, is worthy of its own post.

"The Ballad Of Mona Lisa" is the lead single off of P!ATD's upcoming Vices & Virtues album, due out March 29. Vices will be the first Panic! album released since Ryan Ross and Jon Walker departed from the band to form Young Veins, leaving Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith to carry on under the P!ATD flag. Word around the campfire was their departure was due to those ol' creative differences, with Urie and Smith wanting to explore the polished pop side of things while Ross and Walker leaned toward classic rock.

And "The Ballad Of Mona Lisa" is certainly polished. Perfectly polished, actually. It's also arena-ready, with a pounding beat and a chorus of "whoa-oh's." It's like a louder, more hook-filled version of the sound the band had on A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
